Yappli | transcosmos

transcosmos inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President & COO: Masataka Okuda) is pleased to announce that the company has formed an alliance for the app business with Yappli, Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President & CEO: Yasubumi Ihara; Yappli), and been named the first certified partner under their new certified partner program. As the first certified partner, transcosmos will develop experts who are well versed in “Yappli,” an app platform that delivers mobile app development, management, and analytics services, thereby assisting clients in achieving their digital transformation.

Given the growing use of mobile apps across all kinds of businesses and services in recent years, clients not only face a financial burden associated with the initial implementation costs, but also shoulder significant operational burdens such as keeping their apps up-to-date with frequently updated operating systems (OS), driving user traffic to apps, and maintaining and increasing an active user rate.
Under the business alliance with Yappli, transcosmos, the first Yappli certified partner in the industry, will form a Yappli expert team by building on its proven expertise in developing and managing mobile apps to solve such challenges. With the team in place, transcosmos will provide end-to-end services for clients to let them succeed in their apps marketing initiatives. More specifically, transcosmos will help clients rapidly implement “Yappli,” an app platform that empowers over 400 companies, reduce app management workloads, run marketing promotions to drive user traffic to apps, execute initiatives using both apps and their owned media, integrate the apps with various other solutions, and more.
At the same time, transcosmos aims to develop 20 Yappli certified members by the end of the fiscal year 2020, to let the company’s “Yappli” experts, who know its functions and distinctive features inside out, present proposals and deliver “Yappli” development and management services to many more clients.

Here are the comments received from Yasubumi Ihara, representative director & CEO at Yappli, Inc.

As the largest service delivery network in Japan with centers in Tokyo and Osaka, nearshore centers in Sapporo, Fukuoka and Okinawa, and onsite locations, transcosmos provides website development and operations services for about 700 clients a year. The significance of apps is more apparent than ever before for businesses to develop deeper relations with their customers via various customer touchpoints and with stores, and to promote digital transformation initiatives.

Going forward, transcosmos will work closely with Yappli and share information about how to make the most of “Yappli” and its upcoming functions, and ultimately help clients succeed in their mobile app marketing.
